I still haven't moved my paintings to my new place. I still haven't figured out what I'ma gonna do with my empty canvases and paints and stuff. And the in-process one.

I like that one a lot, mountmccabe. I have a hard time doing animals. they end up looking like muppets.

Re: Art thread

Thanks.

I must admit it doesn't come off as good close up, though. I mean I like the floor and all but the details on the body and espeically the face were way tough and I didn't capture what I wanted. She's lying in an odd position there; the shading on her body was not intuitive at all.

But it's up in a big room and it's on a far wall when you walk in the front door so I think it comes off fairly well.

Nothing whatsoever. But if something is not a muppet, it shouldn't be forced to look like one just because I am incompetent.

Haha @ Kristen.

Heh for Hannah. I'm not a good painter so I generally don't go for realism. I'm just after things that look interesting for my walls so I'm not worried about it.

Woah...Hannah...I REALLY like what you did with the mouth & the area around it. A lot of people have trouble drawing that area because we take it for granted. VERY nice work...if you were in my class you'd get an "A"...lol
